Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

"Well, hello, children."

Lucifer was clad in an impeccable black suit with a red vest and - of course - matching pocket square. He was also clad in the world's broadest insincere smile. "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, though you can call me Beelzebub in a pinch if you prefer," he began, with his heavy posh British accent in full swing. "I'll be your - ugh, I can't believe this - teacher for this semester in all things law enforcement."

A pause.

"I am not a cop, mind you. No, the cops have their own ways of going about this sort of thing, they can just be so... limited. A tragic thing, because finding the wicked, punishing them, that's no small task for any human to bear. Sometimes you won't get where you need to be with a dour face and your best Miranda-ing shout, you need wit and charm and a willingness to trade some trivial bit of evidence for more insight."

He was keeping his distance from the children. They seemed hateful.

"But that'll be next week's lesson. I've been told by this lovely brochure that the first week is introductions and I don't actually have to do anything." He gestured at a random student. "You. Your name, your class, and... ah, I don't know. Someone wicked you've once punished?" His expression went... difficult. "Or just tell us what you desire most from these next few months, whatever suits your fancy."

He sprawled in his seat, eyeing the class with a mixture of casual disdain and genuine concern.

"You've clearly never seen a Malefict if you think being a warden is boring," Elisabeth snorted.

Oh wait. She was probably not supposed to snort at a teacher.

"A Malefict is when a grimoire has been damaged," Elisabeth explained, "enough so that all the magic inside of it loses the strictures that bound it into words and spells. And then it becomes a gruesome monster of ink and leather and demonic magic. And unless it's stopped, it can maraud through half the countryside."

"Is Shakespeare a kind of torture?"

Look, Elisabeth didn't really know any demons. She figured they all had a kind of one-track mind.

"...Are you a sorcerer?"

Who else would know demons?!?

"I don't know what that is," Elisabeth said, scrunching her face up in confusion.

"Oh, a sorcerer, then," Elisabeth said with a knowing nod. "I guess 'Devil' is what you call them in your world."

Yay for understanding!
